Chapter 79 Farmland Allocation System
Zhang Juzheng ordered the clearing of the national land in the sixth year of Wanli, and the inventory of the overflow was leaked, and it was completed within three years, and finally determined that the number of acres of land in the hands of the Ming Dynasty reached 713,976 hectares, or more than 710 million mu, and one mu in the Ming Dynasty was about 614.4 square meters, and the population under the rule of the Ming Dynasty (including those without household registration) had exceeded 100 million at this time.
In this context, Fang Nan led the formulation of the "Farmland Distribution System" under the rule of the People's Army.
Farmland is divided into private land, public land, and military land according to the person to which it belongs, and farmland is divided into superior field, medium field, and inferior field according to the degree of fertility, and one acre of superior land is about equal to two acres of medium land or four acres of inferior land, and men and women are adults when they reach the age of 16.
The "Farmland Distribution System" stipulates that regardless of gender, all adults are granted farmland equivalent to four acres of medium land, and minors are granted farmland equivalent to two acres of medium land, which is private land.
It is not permissible for a household to grant all of them the best or the best of the best, but to distribute the highest, medium, and lower fields to each household in proportion to the conditions of the area.
Those who join the People's Army will be awarded an additional 10 acres of farmland equivalent to medium farmland, and more farmland will be awarded for promotion or meritorious service, which is military land.
Excluding farmland and military land, the remaining farmland in a village is public land, and each household needs to cultivate one-tenth of the public land allocated to the farmland, which is counted as paying taxes, and the excess public land is rented to farmers for cultivation, and the harvest is four for six farmers, and the military land is divided from the public land.
All the farmland of the big evildoers is confiscated, but the big families who do not do the evils are allowed to own a maximum of 30 acres of farmland per person, and the maids and guards are not included in the concession quota.
Large households can also choose the government to buy farmland with antiques, jewelry and other valuables as a price.
It should be noted that all farmland under the rule of the KPA is not allowed to be bought and sold, but it can be rented.
In Xu's house, Deng Qing gave Xu Xinzhi a brief description of the People's Army's "Farmland Distribution System", and pointed out the changes that Xufu was going to make, although Xu Xinzhi was furious in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change much, and every sentence Deng Qing said, Xu Xinzhi agreed and was willing to cooperate with Deng Qing and the People's Government.
For Xu Xinzhi's inner thoughts, Deng Qing can guess some of them, but he doesn't care about those, whether Xu Xinzhi is willing or not, the "Farmland Distribution System" will be implemented, if Xu Xinzhi is unwilling to accept it, the People's Army will also enforce it, if Xu Fu rebels against the People's Army, it will be better, and the People's Army can directly encircle and suppress Xu Fu as an enemy.
Deng Qing was originally a mountain man, no matter whether the big families were good or evil, Deng Qing was very repulsive.
Today, Deng Qing informed Xu Xinzhi of the "farmland distribution system" to be implemented by the People's Military Government, but it will take a few days for the specific implementation to be implemented, and a written document will be drawn up to determine the farmland to which it belongs.
After Deng Qing told Xu Xinzhi everything, Xu Xinzhi sent Deng Qing out of the house, and when he turned around, the head of the Xu family asked the housekeeper, maids, and guards to leave, and he fell and scolded in the study alone.
"Damn thief, it's shameless to want to snatch away all the farmland that my Xu family has accumulated over the years."
"Where is the army of the imperial court, hurry up and exterminate this group of damned thieves!"
"Then the farmland will be given to you thieves for the time being, and when the imperial army comes, these farmlands will still be my Xu family."
……
After the anger, the head of the Xu family was also relieved in his heart, and he was very glad that the Xu Mansion did not end up with other families, the temporary loss of farmland was a trivial matter, at least everyone's lives were not in danger for the time being.
The head of the Xu family is also a little worried that it will only encircle and suppress the thief's imperial army, if it encounters the Ming army with corrupt military discipline, it will also be a trouble for the Xu family, but fortunately, the Xu family also has some background, at most, after the incident, the Xu family will lose a little wealth.
In addition, the head of the Xu family also felt that this group of thieves occupying Haifeng County was a little unusual, not ordinary chaotic people, the thieves used standard weapons, there were no all kinds of farm tools, Deng Qing, who came to visit Xu's house, was young, but it could be seen from the discussion that he was a scholar, and there may be many thieves like this, how could a scholar get mixed with a thief?
I didn't feel right in my heart, but after the head of the Xu family thought of the strength of the imperial court, he put his mind at ease again, no matter how unusual the thief was, no matter how powerful he was, he would not be the opponent of the imperial army, as long as the imperial army came, the thief would flee, and the Xu Mansion would live a normal life before.
Soon, the news that Xu's house would not be raided spread throughout Xu's house, and the ladies, concubines, children, maids, guards, and so on all knew that they didn't have to die, and they all showed smiling faces, and they were also in the mood to talk about why Xu's house would not be raided, and most of the other big families were raided.
"It is said that other big families are doing a lot of evil and bullying the people, so they were raided by thieves, our Xu Mansion has never bullied the people, and in the event of a disaster, they will reduce the rent and give porridge, and the thieves see that our Xu Mansion has a good heart, so they did not attack our Xu Mansion."
"This is good intentions and good rewards, the old lady is so kind-hearted, and bad things will definitely go away."
"yes, yes."
……
Kindness? Xu Xinzhi is a little bit, but more of it is to maintain a good reputation for the Xu family, when facing the common people, Xu Xinzhi basically has a high-minded attitude, and kindness is also a charity to ordinary people.
The people who were given alms didn't care so much, maybe a bowl of porridge was the motivation for their own survival, and they took the initiative to promote Xufu's benevolence and charity to others.
The People's Army will not care so much, it is good to be good with sincerity and sincerity, and it is also good to be good on the surface, as long as it is good enough.
There are several big families in Haifeng County who are good, and there are several big families that do not do evil, of course, this big family is only relatively speaking, put it in the capital, most of the big families in Haifeng County will also become small households, and the Xu family is one of the richer of these big families.
Deng Qing's experience in Xufu is still good, other officials of the Haifeng County People's Army Government are in other big households, the light ones can't even see the principals, and the heavy ones are not allowed to enter the mansion directly, perhaps because they are worried that they will be misunderstood by others and have a connection with the People's Army, and when the imperial army comes, it will be troublesome.
There are also large families who are afraid of death, respectfully invite the officials into the house, communicate with them in a friendly manner, and finally give them out of the house.
In any case, the "Farmland Allocation System" of the Haifeng County People's Military Government has already begun to be implemented, and it will continue to be implemented regardless of whether the remaining large households agree or not.
